Club career

Les Hirst made his début for Wakefield Trinity during November 1949, he scored 107-goals in the 1951–52 Northern Rugby Football League season, and 103-goals in the 1953–54 Northern Rugby Football League season, he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.

gollark: I don't know of any functioning governments which actually do offer that right.
